Yes. Please bring previous X-rays, MRI/CT scans, laboratory reports, prescriptions and relevant medical records. They can help avoid unnecessary repeat investigations.

I treat a wide range of orthopaedic conditions, including arthritis, joint pain, ligament and meniscus injuries, sports injuries, fractures, degenerative joint conditions, and problems affecting the knee, hip, shoulder and other joints. 

You should consider an orthopaedic consultation if you have persistent joint or bone pain, difficulty walking or using a limb, sports injuries, fractures, stiffness, swelling, or pain that interferes with your daily activities. 

Recovery varies considerably depending on the procedure, the condition being treated and the individual patient. A personalised rehabilitation and follow-up plan will be discussed with you before and after surgery. 

Yes. A second opinion can be useful if you have been advised to undergo surgery and would like another assessment of your diagnosis and treatment options. You may consult me for a second opinion regarding your diagnosis, treatment options or a proposed orthopaedic procedure. 

Surgery is recommended only when it is appropriate for your condition. Your symptoms, examination findings, imaging, activity level, overall health and response to non-surgical treatment are considered before making a decision. 

Not necessarily. The need for imaging depends on your symptoms and clinical examination. An X-ray, MRI, CT scan or other investigation may be recommended when it is likely to provide useful information for diagnosis or treatment planning. 

Yes. Joint replacement procedures are performed for advanced arthritis and other conditions causing severe pain and functional limitation. Common procedures include total knee replacement and hip replacement. 

Knee replacement may be considered when advanced arthritis causes persistent pain, significant difficulty walking or climbing stairs, night pain, or reduced quality of life despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. 

No. Knee pain can have many causes, and knee replacement is appropriate only for selected patients with advanced joint damage and significant symptoms. A proper clinical evaluation is important before deciding on surgery. 

Yes. Depending on the severity and cause, treatment may include activity modification, physiotherapy, weight management, medications, injections and other non-operative measures. Surgery is considered when these measures no longer provide adequate relief. 

 Yes. Orthopaedic trauma care includes the assessment and treatment of fractures, dislocations and other musculoskeletal injuries, including injuries requiring surgical fixation. 

Yes. Sports-related injuries such as ligament injuries, meniscus tears, tendon problems, dislocations and certain fractures can be assessed and treated, with an emphasis on safe and appropriate return to activity. 

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera is introduced into a joint through tiny incisions. It can be used to diagnose and treat selected conditions involving structures such as the meniscus, ligaments and cartilage.
